The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, primarily through its deliberate diverse casting that re-imagines the American founding story to emphasize inclusion and representation, alongside its celebration of an immigrant's rise.
The movie demonstrates significant diversity, equity, and inclusion primarily through its explicit color-conscious casting, where traditionally white historical roles are intentionally filled by minority actors. While the casting is a strong DEI statement, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique or negatively portray traditional identities.
The film subtly alludes to a historically speculated romantic bond between Alexander Hamilton and John Laurens through their intense friendship and emotional exchanges. However, this relationship remains ambiguous and is not explicitly confirmed or explored as a central LGBTQ+ theme. Their implied identity is incidental to the main narrative, leading to a neutral overall portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
